Chunqi Guo

Research Assistant

I am a senior student at Sichuan Agricultural University, jointly advised by Prof. Li Guo and Prof. Shixian Luo.
Now I am also a research intern at Virginia Tech, jointly advised by Prof. Walid Saad and Prof. Naren Ramakrishnan.

My research interests span World Model, Mechanistic Interpretability, Multimodel, Model Generalizability, and Urban Computing. I am dedicated to imbuing AI with more human-like characteristics to foster mutual understanding between humans and AI, and ultimately contributing to the sustainability of our environment.
My motto: The purpose of life is to enjoy every moment. ‘刹那即永恒,觉心即意义’ 💫

If you are interested in any aspect of my research, I would be very happy to chat 🍵 and collaborate 🧃.
